Freedom in Wool and Braid

Coco Chanel changed women's fashion by using comfortable fabrics. She made dresses from jersey, once used mainly for underwear, and embraced rugged tweeds from Scotland, valuing ease over stiff formality.

After years away, she reopened her couture house in 1954, in her seventies. Her suit featured a collarless cardigan jacket with braid trim, real patch pockets and a chain sewn into the hem so the jacket hung perfectly. Women loved the freedom of movement it allowed, without corsets.

Karl Lagerfeld revived the house from 1983, reinventing the tweed jacket each season. Today the suit and the interlocking double C logo remain symbols of classic elegance. Vintage Chanel jackets are prized by collectors.
